Newly Renovated Home on Little Glen Lake
NOW DOG FRIENDLY! Blue Haven is the perfect home for a large family gathering on beautiful Little Glen Lake. This home has been newly renovated and provides ample space for up to 15 guests to share the home with its 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The home boasts beautiful views of its large backyard and Little Glen Lake. You will enjoy the opportunity to build a fire and enjoy a s’more or go for a swim in the sandy bottomed lake.
The fully stocked kitchen and its new appliances are ready for you to get creative with the local fresh ingredients you will find at the various farmers markets, roadside stands and local grocery stores.
The primary bedroom is located on the main level of the home and has a king bed and ensuite bathroom. Upstairs guests will find two bedrooms - one has a king bed plus 2 twin beds.

We stayed here with extended family for a 4 day reunion. The house is really nice, clean, well laid out, and has an amazing deck, yard, and boat dock! The water is perfect as it stays shallow (2ft) for a ways out from the shore and was perfect for the kids to play and kayak.We rented the house next door also and loved the combined yard and extra space between the houses.

Back to Glen Arbor after 12 years
This house was a wonderful place to stay in. Plenty of space for 3 generations of our family. Large kitchen eating area and nice quiet spaces as well. Loved having the big yard to play in. Plenty of linens, towels, beach towels. They had paper products and dish and laundry soap for our use. Bedrooms were very large and could accommodate lots of people Will rent this again

Excellent Stay!
We stayed here for the first time with another family, after having rented several houses in Empire and Glen Arbor. We found the house incredibly clean and welcoming. With two families and a total of seven children, the house had more than enough room for us. We loved every minute and are already planning to return next summer. We're very grateful for the hospitality!

Beyond our wildest dreams!
Every single aspect of our stay was pleasant. The beds were comfortable and plentiful. The amount and quantity of linens was impressive. I was finding stashes of towels, washcloths, blankets, sheets, etc. in every nook and cranny. And the towels were thick and BEAUTIFUL! We celebrated my Mom’s 89th birthday. This place was perfect for us. Plenty of space to gather, nice grill to cook burgers, awesome fire pit near the lake, kayaks and oars for us to enjoy and aver a dozen beach towels! My cousin is a builder in the area and he was quite impressed by the quality of the extensive renovation that looked like it was done just prior to our stay. We hope to gather again at this wonderful home!
